Tan So was engulfed in flames, signaling the end of a capital city - a nerve center leading the Can Vuong movement, recording an extremely heroic historical milestone against foreign invaders of our nation, becoming the place where witnessed and recorded the national spirit of a patriotic king - King Ham Nghi. After peace, Tan So was littered with piles of war scrap and filled with hundreds of bomb craters. The Tan So Citadel Base relic is in dire need of preservation and restoration.

Thousands of soldiers sacrificed their lives here, but their remains have not yet been retrieved because there was too much smoke, fire, and bombs. Their blood and bones have mixed into the rubble and rubble. That's why today at the center of the monument, people built a memorial to form a common grave for thousands of soldiers who fell during these fierce days and nights. This mass grave was designed according to the concept of yin and yang philosophy, which has a profound meaning to escape the souls of the deceased. There are 81 stairs going up, symbolizing 81 days and nights of fighting in Quang Tri ancient citadel. Source: Quang Tri Provincial Museum and Monument Management Center
